Faction Name: Ruina of DARC
Faction Leader: Lord of Ruin
de-facto faction leader: Huvud
Goals: Bringing forth the Lord of Ruin into L’Isola, Increasing the amount of Negative Energy in the world.
Headquarters: Directory Arctic Research Center.

Description: In order for the Lord of Ruin to enter a world and feast on it, great amoutns of negative energy must be present and to flow towards the Fabula Forest, the gateway from which He exerts his influence and from which He will enter when the situation allows it. To prepare the world for his arrival, the Lord of Ruin sends His agents, the Ruina forth.

the Ruina don’t have much of a command structure. All of them have a drive and desire for destruction and misery. The vast majority of Ruina are Miles, easily replacable fodder that are led by the Lord of Ruin’s vanguard: The Melior Esse. Melior Esse are the generals who lead the Ruina in their quest to bring their Lord unto the world, and are all highly dangerous combatants that pilot unique Mobile Weapons. Their bodies are not made out of negative energy, but instead the bodies of the former humans that worked in Directory Arctic Research Center. Those people are gone, their souls eroded into nothingness in an instant by His will, but their memories and bodies remain as puppets for the Ruina generals.

The event that turned everyone in then Directory Arctic Research Center into tools of the Lord of Ruin seems to have happened near the end of OE 101. At this time it is unknown what caused the disturbance that allowed Lord of Ruin’s influence to slip into the world for the briefest of amounts it took to wipe out the souls of Directory Arctic Research Center out.

The Lord of Ruin does not seem to have entered L’Isola yet, but as the Ruina succeed and progress in their goals that fateful moment crawls ever closer...

Mass Produced Units:

Angelus:




The most commonly seen Mobile Weapon the Ruina have, the Angelus is a highly mobile but fragile wasplike machine. Its lower half sucks negative energy out of the atmosphere to power its weapons, which include missile pods, a beam sword and a beam rifle.

A more powerful and more humanlike variant has been seen a few times, but while the normal Angelus is often seen in squads and large groups, there have only ever been single sightings of the Angelus S.


Belgrande:



The Belgrande are a mass produced Super unit that the Ruina have begun to deploy in the months after their assault on the world began in earnest. They have missiles on their shoulders, the massive spiked hammer all of them wield and their knuckles can be sent at their foes. While they can fly, their performance is greater on the ground.

Characters:

Melior Esse:

Huvud:



The de-facto leader of the Ruina, Huvud is the one that plans and organizes the moves and stratagems used by DARC. His body was that of the head of DARC. Of the Melior Esse that have shown themselves he is the one most rarely seen, and his sightings completely stopped for a few months, but he has recently resurfaced. The presence of his Mobile Weapon, Violaceum, is a sure sign that the Ruina are present en masse and seeking to accomplish a vital goal for their final objective. While none of the Melior Esse care for humans, Huvud holds a personal contempt for the species.


Fighting style: Webspinner
strengths:

weaknesses: Thanks to his nature as a schemer who plans ahead, unforeseen surprises and spanners can throw him off his game for a time.


Mobile Weapon: Violaceum


Vapen:


The body he inhabits was DARC’s head of security, but not much of it remains now. Vapen himself is the Melior Esse most open about what drives him: he simply wants to destroy everything. It is not aimed at humans specifically, everything that can be destroyed will be. Wherever he appears, collateral damage and destruction follows.


fighting style: berserker
strengths: Collateral damage is not an exception, but the rule that follows Vapen everywhere. Even if he is driven off the surrounding area will likely be wrecked by then.
weaknesses: wild and unhinged, Vapen is not one to focus his attention and firepower on one individual or threats to his existence.

mobile weapon: Fortis Ala


Viggen:


The Melior Esse hiding under a pleasant facade. An unparalleled cruelty hiding behind restraint, Viggen is the second in command to Huvud, and he holds her to the highest regard from their largely lacking and flawed brethren. The body puppeteered by her was originally the second test pilot of DARC.


Fighting style: Cruelty
strengths:
weaknesses: If she thinks she can get away with it, Viggen tends to play with her foes, and take her time with dispatching them.

Skruv:

The engineer Melior Esse, Skruv has not fought a single battle. And if he has his way nor will he. The Melior Esse is completely obsessed with his works, but with the quality of his works Huvud can hardly force the obsessed engineer to fight.
